Question regarding vouches

A question has arisen in my mind due to this thread:

Blaze and Sunny IRL Acquaintance Vouches (8)

Does this mean irl meetups to do a trade should not be vouched
OR
Is it knowing someone irl BEFORE doing any trades that constitutes the necessity that you do not vouch
OR
If I make friends with that person after doing a meetup to do a trade does that mean we can no longer vouch each other for future trades because we are now 'irl acquaintances'?

I've traded multiple Sythe users irl and have found it a very rewarding way to do business when possible - so any clarification regarding what the staff have decided would be awesome.

Thanks!

Sticky:
You are not allowed to vouch for yourself, or an irl acquaintance.

There doesn't seem to be an issue with irl vouches as long as you make it clear how you know them within the vouch itself. As hard as it is to enfroce, the rules is obviously in place so people don't abuse real life relationships/friendships with fake vouches.

 

Thanks a lot for the reply. I've met some good people from Sythe IRL for trades (even went out for steaks with one on a non trading occasion - after having met during a trade of course). Good to know this way of trading means I'm not missing out on vouches (although gaining irl friends is worth it I guess? Na f irl).

Thanks again.
